This is due to a combination of things. One being that the Brewers are WAY better than a lot of the experts thought they were and the Phillies are WAY worse than a lot of the experts thought they were. :rollseyes:

I get a laugh at these experts that are surprised the Brewers are doing well. I mean, shit, look at their lineup...

1. Carlos Gomez - All-Star Gold Glove CF last year
2. Jean Segura - All-Star SS last year
3. Ryan Braun - 2011 MVP and perennial All-Star RF
4. Aramis Ramirez - Perennial All-Star 3B
5. Jonathan Lucroy - Would be an All-Star C if the NL wasn't so loaded with good catchers. I think he might be able to make an All-Star game now that Brian McCann is in the AL.
6. Khris Davis - a young LF you're going to be hearing a lot about.
7. Mark Reynolds - Okay, nothing really that special here.
8. Scooter Gennett - A very good young 2B that is far more productive than that bum Rickie Weeks

That's a pretty damn good lineup there. Sure, it isn't as "homer heavy" as a lot of past Brewer lineups, but the hitters are better overall.

A-Ram's been to two All-Star Games, the last being in 2007. That makes him a "Perennial All-Star"?

He only screwed that one up, not a bad assesment but the offense is not the reason the Brewers are successful right now.......only one stat needed TEAM ERA 1.95

Jezuz...Jacoby Ellsbury is unstoppable...2-2 today so far against his old club.

How stupid was Beantown to let him go and how smart were the Yankmees to scoop him up?

Didn't you know? Ellsbury is a TRADER!

don't get me wrong, I miss Ellsbury and they aren't going to replace him very easily (I'm still pretty high on Bradley, but he's probably not having any years as good as 2011 or 2013 Ellsbury), but 12 games do not make a 7 year contract.

The Diamondbacks are awful

It's pretty amazing how quickly they went down the toilet. I remember back in 2011 they felt like they were on top of the world with one of the best starting pitchers in baseball (Adam Kennedy) and a lethal lineup that included Justin Upton. It appears the last few years haven't been kind to them...
